I have had my A-5 for about a year now and haven't changed a thing, but now i want to customize it. I need  some tips on what i should do. I play alot of speed ball and am going to try to keep it under $300. If you have a cool looking A-5 go ahead and post a pic. I need all the tips i can get!

You said "cool looking" not "uber performance" so... I'm going to go with a mag kit, R.I.S. Shroud, Magazine, Drop Forward, Sight-Rail w\ Red Dot Scope and Foldable G-36 Stock. People would drool when they saw your gun.

Mr. Madman your making a big mistake by buying a flatline, stock, and scope for speedball.  The flatline is pointless, the stock will just give you a bigger profile, and the scopes going to get broken.  Oh and get a good drop forward and put your tank on your gun...no remote.

To answer your question:

The APE Rampage board will be put in the E-Grip frame which will increase your ROF and gives you plenty adjustments and firing modes.

The QEV and Ratchet mods are cycone mods that make it feed faster...about 20 BPS
